RAFAH, Gaza Strip -- Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said Friday that Israel's Gaza pullout resulted from Palestinian "sacrifices" and "patience."
Abbas also promised to rebuild houses in Gaza destroyed by Israel. He made his comments before thousands of cheering Palestinians at Gaza's closed airport.
"This pullout is a result of our sacrifice, of our patience, the sacrifice of our people, the steadfastness, and the wise people of our nation," Abbas said.

Expected, but very disturbing.
